Agreed he is a nice guy... Please let me know what he says. I believe his hours on tues are from 12-3:30pm and 5:00-7:30pm.

Heres a thought... I wonder if the PD's are planning on approving apps in alphabetical order as the checks trickle in, or if they instead are waiting for ALL the backlogged checks to be recieved before they start approving apps...and therefore processing them in order by date of application. Because I find it strange that the A, B, C, ect. last name background checks have been supposedly sent to the police over a week ago and yet no one has gotten their app approved yet.

I'm letter H, im assuming they sent mine out today and my PD will get it in a day or two. It would be nice if they called me up by the end of the week, but not counting on it because I know they only process apps on Tuesdays. The detective in my town has been very professional with this stuff so I'm hoping to hear from him by or on next Tuesday. I will post on here as soon as I get the call. BossyMossy I hope you get that call by the end of the week, I think you've been waiting longer than anybody in here.

I have been a firearms owner since 2009. When i got started, I could honestly care less about bans on assault weapons and high capacity mags, as I own neither. I could have been considered a "fudd" because I like to hunt and target shoot and only really owned shotguns and .22s. But sandy hook changed everything. Watching the gun grabber liberals try to shamelessly take advantage of people's outrage to try to push their extremist agenda through has hardened my stance toward firearm restriction. Give these people an inch and they try to take a mile. So you can add my name to the list of former casual 2a supporters, fudds, etc. who have now been converted to steadfast, enthusiastic supporters of gun rights.

Nutley PD processes apps on Tuesdays. Im the next letter in line (H) but I doubt they will get my check to the Nutley PD by this coming Tuesday. Hoping by next Tuesday 4/9 I get the call....but that may be optimistic.

Lol...I know. Think of all the people that shoot that much.22lr in an afternoon.

People have challanged the state in court and have lost. We are at the mercy of the liberal regime in NJ when it comes to gun laws.

Its a possibility because there is a section of river road in belleville that is prone to flooding, but i am pretty familiar with belleville and i am not aware of any county government offices in that area...but i could be wrong. Maybe someone else has more info

when i first got my FID back in 2009 it still took 2 months. Even in good times it has still taken way longer than the 30 day rule. It is almost universally ignored, with rare exceptions.

I have a feeling Christie is going to come out swinging when the time is right. I think his reelection in NJ is virtually guaranteed, even if he were to veto every gun bill . He has nothing to lose (practically a shoe-in for gubernatorial reelection), and everything to gain (scoring points with republican base on a national level) by taking a pro gun stance. Just my 2 cents.

Also it could depend on the method they use to send the completed checks to the PD's (a fax or phone call as opposed to snail mail)

Bossymossy, I suppose its possible that the police staff responsible for processing apps in your city are only there on certain days, and may not be in until later in the week. I know in my town, the detective in charge of processing apps is only in on tuesdays. Just a thought...

Same here. Im letter H...so hoping its within a week or two.

I think it's time to look for apartments in PA. It will mean an hour long commute to NJ everyday but its starting to look totally worth it. My guess is NJ will have an exodus of thousands of gun owners in the next few years because of this crap. But I'm sure there are plenty of liberal sheep happy to take our places.

I'm speechless. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse. These fascists are hell bent on taking away our civil rights. Its starting to feel like 1930's Nazi Germany in this state.

Unbelievable. What next?

What pisses me off is that while we are waiting for this cluster **** to get sorted out, the gun shortage just gets worse and worse, and now there are unexplained NICS delays reportedly up to 10-14 days and counting. I applied for 2 pistol permits, at this rate i think id be lucky to get ONE pistol in 90 days. But personally i think they are just full of shit at this point. Excuse after excuse.

oddly, i just got a call saying my nics approval came and i can come pick up the gun. 9 days total. Strange that it came through on a sunday. I dunno if maybe it was done at some point yesterday? Or maybe they are running 7 days a week now? Who knows, going to pick up my new shotgun now. 2 new guns in 2 days...woohoo. im lucky to have an understanding wife...lol

Thanks, I went to Dunkelberger's in Stroudsburg. Very nice store if you've never been out there, friendly and knowledgable staff, great selection (even now). Excellent prices compared to NJ in my experience. It's worth the drive to buy your long guns there if you live in north jersey and its a nice scenic ride out rt. 80 regardless.

Tomorrow is day 8 for me of waiting for my shotgun. To lift my spirits i went to PA today to buy a new .22 bolt action...15 minutes and i was leaving with my new rifle. FU new jersey...lol

Excellent point. I too used to be an independent voter who could swing either way depending on who I thought was a better candidate. But after the events of the last few months, I will NEVER vote for another democrat as long as I live unless they come out as being explicitly pro-gun (fat chance I know). I disagree with ALOT of Republican policies but I am willing to put my differences aside. It's become apparent to me that the Democratic Party are a bunch of tyrannical thugs who think nothing of violating our civil rights to further their agenda. I bet there are ALOT of former independents/moderates across the country such as myself and wooly bugger who are going to be swinging to the right because of recent events. I predict an ass kicking being dished out to the democrats in the midterm elections, like what happened to the Clinton-era dems after they passed the original AWB.

Imagine the uproar if something like this was going on with the NICS system in somewhere like Texas. I guess the problem is that we are at the mercy of the democratic regime in this state. They have no sympathy for our plight. On the contrary, they are probably gloating at the fact that it has become a nightmare trying to purchase a gun in this state.

Wow now its getting up to 14 days? This is outrageous. Im waiting on 2 pistol permits, i think id be lucky to be able to buy ONE pistol in 90 days at this rate. I hate having to feel like a second class citizen in this state just because i am a gun owner.

Not sure exactly, ive just heard sometime in April.
